'Teople who talk so glbly about what England Is doing In that way," he re marked, "and who think we should be guided by their actions, don't know what they are talking about, and have no Idea of the entirely different conditions which prevail rtf there. "The heavy rate Imposed by England Is due to the fact that they have found K impossible to control the prices which Knglleh manufacturers have had to pay (Mr raw and semifinished material, especially from the United States, and the only nthod open to the Government was to pay the high prices for the supplies and then L tut down the cost by taking a large aharo of the profits. "Now with us it Is different," he continued. "Wo have control of tho sources of production of all the principal commodities used In the war, such as steel, copper, Cotton, wheat, etc., and can do away with excess profits by 'fixing low prices, which tM already been done in some cases and shortly will be In the others. "From the action which our Oovernment has already taken In the matter of fries fixing It is evident that there Is no Intention to fix prices so low that excess fronts need not be taxed, but Is fixing the price high enough so that there will bo (Mr than an average profit, and that Industry may have sufficient capital to en large facilities for manufacturing war equipment. , "There are," he said, "some industries in Canada, I understand, whose efficiency feu been crippled through lack of working capital on account of the heavy demands mad by excess profits. I don't believe," he added, "that we are likely to fall Into that blunder; at least we have had sufficient warning on the subject." Steamship Earnings to be Cut "It would seem that the days when a steamship could earn her own value In a return trip across the Atlantic are over," remarked the manager of tho Investment lepartment of a downtown banking house, which has taken a great deal of; Interest kl marine matters, especially sinca the war began. "The American Chartering Commlsslop, which has been created by the Federal hipping Board to bring rates down to a level which will measure up to the standard prescribed to English shipping, is at work," he said, "and definite rates to be fixed feX them for various leading commodities are expected shortly. "These rates are not expected to be unfair' ho continued, "but from the stand point of profits and Increased operating costs will allow a good margin of profit." Unfilled Steel Orders to Show Decrease The announcement by the United States Steel Corporation of its unfilled orders Which is due today, Is not expected to create any particular curiosity, or to result Is any change In prices, although rumor has it that the figures, will show a decrease tt about 600,000 tons. As a matter of fact, few, If any, orders for steel will be placed now until tho flkwnment fixes the price. Albert E. Turner on "The Speculator" Speaking of the various types of men who can ba. found In the board rooms f the higher class Investment houses, "Al" Turner as his friends call him of the Inn of Harper & Turner, In the Stock Exchange Building, said: "There are what might be called threo different types of men dealing in stocks the Investment, the seml-lnvestment and the purely speculative. The latter is a lector of the first magnitude. The man who permits that habit of mind to develop la seldom the gainer In the long run. His method of thought and of action Is analagous to that of the horse-racing enthusiast. He may lose, but he says to him self, "forget It." He calls himself a good sport and starts In again. This type is met most frequently In crowded board rooms. Some of these rooms havequlte a number ef active operators who are engaged not only in developing business In the room, "J. I but are active on the telephone all day long suggesting quick action, either In '? uning a loss or a pront. Kememuenns ine analogy suggested lor mis typo or mind, the business Is continuous unless the trader happens to be what Is called 'wiped eut.' Even In the latter case, the fever persists, and as soon as he Is In' position to supply, more funds or collateral, he goes at It again, chasing the wlll-o'-the-wlsp of hope. The Influence of this group must be recognized though it be but as the waves it the sea, while the great under body remains almost undisturbed. Even the Invest mtnt mind, however, has to recognize the effect of the distinct speculative action. It contributes to make markets. It has a damaging effect on prices for a time. It has the opposite effect at other times, and the patient Investor or semi-Investor walls the development of that time to sell. The semi-Investor does not clamor for dally action. He bides his time. He sees a property that he believes to be develop ing; has excellent Intrinsic merit and considers speculative conditions. He then buys and sells only when he has what he believes to be a reasonable profit. He lets his stock go, confident either that he can get It back cheaper or place his money In something else to greater advantage. His general axiom Is: 'When everybody wants t buy, sell; when everybody wants to sell, buy.' This was once aptly expressed by someone: 'When I see stories about bull markets on the first page of the newspapers, X Mil my stocks. When I see stories on the first page of the newspapers about heavy tiling In stocks, I buy.' " The Second Liberty Loan The official announcement of the terms of the new Liberty Loan Is anxiously waited In banks and 'investment houseB, both In the downtown and central sections C the city. A n,Amlniitt Kn1,av wVia wan lnf n tlcnVil a In nlnrtnrr tn flrnt T.tVinetir T.nnn jl' gave It as his opinion that the second loan would be for 14.000,000,000, will carry. 4 cent ana be tax exempt, except tor surtaxes. This banker expressed the hope that the liquidation on the stock market had Fttn, its course, and that the trend for the better had come, so as to produce greater jtnOdence in the investing public, and thus make the work easier for the Liberty lean Committee and those associated with It. The Gold Embargo Proclamation President Wilson's proclamation requiring the licensing of gold exports was favorably commented upon by bankers In Philadelphia. The vice president of one of the few largo banks which transact foreign exchange In this city said that the proclamation of tho embargo, tn his opinion, will place no restriction on the settlement of legitimate trade balances against the United States. "As a matter of fact," l-, remarked, "the only trade balance that I am at present aware of running against the United States and which Is being paid In gold Is Japan's. "The embargo on gold aeema to me perfectly proper under present war condi tions," he continued, "and the terms under which Is It to be carried out are not nerous. A I understand it, prospective shippers of gold will find it necessary to '.show that none of the exported gold will find Us way Into the enemy's hands directly. "Of course the necessity of keeping a high standard of credit abroad for our bankers and business concerns Is recognized, and nothing will be done under the proclamation to Impair these credits, even should It take larger shipments of gold abroad than have been reported recently. "Personally, I believe," he remarked, "that(the embargo Is, intended more partic ularly to cover shipments of gold to Mexico and South American countries, rather than Japan, and, while it is true that Japan has Insisted on gold, her demand is perfectly legitimate as the gold is going to settle debts Incurred In the regular course f business." rf In this connection it Is interesting to know that Mexico IsColnlng at present 1,000,600 pesos In gold, a part of which Is a new coin called "axtecs." They have a Value of ten and twenty pesos and their coinage makes them equal to the 15 and- $10 American gold coins.
